A Study on the Correlation between Engaging Fun and Converged Academic Enjoyment in After-school Programs through Magic Class

Statistics on the operational status of after-school programs for 2018 posted on the Education Ministry's website shows that about 2.93 million students are attending after-school classes at 11, 746 schools ranging from elementary to high school, both public and private, across the country. Education magic classes are categorized into other programs among specialties. Most after-school programs are recognized as short-term education focused on supplementing insufficient subjects or focusing on interests rather than being selected considering individual students' aptitude and special ability. Education magic classes are also included in this category. This approach to magic, previously thought to be the domain of a person with expertise, has led to a positive response to its effect on education. Minimal research were undertaken on the effect on education of this type of class. Therefore, the Correlation between engaging fun and converged academic enjoyment in after-school classes was analyzed in this study in order to determine the applicability of magic classes to actual education environment. The analysis of the pre-and post-examination showed that the interest and interest alone in the humanities of Korean Language and Chinese characters as well as the natural sequence of mathematics and science has a significant effect on the converged academic enjoyment of the after-school magic.
